Why a Gas Grill Flat Top Combo Changes Everything

Introduction

Grilling on standard grill grates can be limiting—especially when it comes to versatile cooking. If you’ve ever tried to grill bacon, make fluffy scrambled eggs, crisp up golden hash browns, or cook fried rice, you already know: a traditional grill grate just doesn’t cut it. Smaller items fall through the gaps, stick, or cook unevenly, leading to frustration and food loss.

That's where the game completely changes with the Arteflame insert. Designed as a gas grill flat top combo, this insert allows you to enjoy the high-performance sear of a traditional grate, while adding the versatility of a solid griddle surface. From breakfast to dinner, the Arteflame gives your existing grill a whole new life, transforming what—and how—you cook outdoors.

Why You Need Both

A combination cooking surface—grill grate plus flat top—unlocks potential most backyard cooks don't realize they have. With the Arteflame insert, you don’t have to choose between juicy burgers and delicate scallops. You can cook both at once, and so much more.

Here’s why having both cooking methods integrated into one system is a grill game-changer:

1. Unlimited Menu Possibilities

With a flat top griddle, you can finally cook foods that are impossible or inefficient on an open grill grate:

• Bacon: No flare-ups or sticking. Just perfectly crisp slices.
• Eggs: Fried, scrambled, or sunny-side up right beside your burgers.
• Hash Browns: Get the perfect crunchy edges without losing half through the grate.
• Rice and Stir-Fries: A flat space makes tossing veggies and proteins in sauces a breeze.
• Cheese-filled sandwiches or quesadillas: Melty goodness on a solid surface.
• Smash burgers: Even and beautifully browned crust, every time.

The flat top expands your grill’s potential tenfold, making it an all-in-one outdoor cook station.

2. Seamless Workflow

The dual zones of the Arteflame insert let you manage different cook times and temperatures simultaneously. Use the flat top for foods that need more delicate handling while continuing to flame-grill proteins on the grates. This creates a natural workflow where you can cook complex meals—all in one place.

3. Superior Heat Retention

Made from thick US steel, the Arteflame griddle holds and distributes heat evenly, eliminating hot spots and ensuring a uniform cook. Foods like pancakes, fried rice, or seared vegetables benefit from the stable temperature a flat top provides, giving you restaurant-quality results every time.

4. Fewer Flare-Ups, Safer Cooking

Greasy foods and marinades dripping through grates can ignite flare-ups, which not only burn food but can be dangerous. A smooth griddle surface catches those juices without causing chaos, keeping your cook controlled and safe—perfect for family-style grilling or entertaining guests.

5. Easier Cleanup

With a flat top, there’s no worry of scraping food remnants stuck between bars of a traditional grate. All the drippings collect in a manageable zone, and cleaning the surface is as simple as scraping and wiping—a massive bonus for post-party cleanup.

6. Seasoning for Flavor

The steel Arteflame insert seasons over time like your favorite cast-iron skillet, adding natural non-stick properties and that rich, smoky flavor to everything you cook. The more you use it, the better it performs and tastes.

7. Durable, Long-term Investment

Unlike cast iron, which tends to chip or crack over time—especially with sudden temperature changes—the Arteflame insert is constructed from 100% American steel. It won’t break under pressure, and it will never let you down mid-cook. You’re investing in performance that lasts a lifetime.

Conclusion

Adding an Arteflame insert to your current grill is like getting a brand-new outdoor kitchen. It combines the best of both worlds: the classic sear marks of open flame grilling and the unmatched flexibility of a flat top. Whether you're making bacon and eggs for brunch, stir-fry for dinner, or appetizers for an outdoor gathering, this grill-top solution does it all.

Arteflame inserts are made 100% in the USA with strict American standards for food safety and quality. Crafted from solid US steel and not brittle cast iron, they resist cracking, hold heat impressively, and only get better with every use. If you're ready to breathe new life into your gas grill and unlock an entirely new menu of possibilities, the Arteflame insert is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
